Distance and timing basis
Ordered leg totals agree within rounding. Stop distances are approximate sums of rounded legs. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.
Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.
Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.
Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Oslo / Norway Scenic Roads
The country is a mosaic of spruce and pine, small farms, bogs and long, slow lakes, running east toward the Swedish border, and it has a quiet, lonely character that suits a rider who has had enough of crowds. Kirkenær, the nearest town, has barely twelve hundred people.

Planning note
Oslo / Norway Scenic Roads is where the day begins. Next is Aurlandsfjellet Snow Road checkpoint 8.
2. Near Nesoddtangen
Out on the Oslofjord, between the Nesodden peninsula and the western shore near Slemmestad, the water is wide, island-studded and busy with sails on summer weekends. This point sits in that stretch of fjord country, a few kilometres from Nesoddtangen, where wooded shores, smooth granite skerries and summer cabins line the water, and the towers of Oslo are visible to the north. The ferries that cross the fjord, and the many small boats, give the area a maritime feel.

Place association under review. The retained source text conflicts with its location label; verify the stop in the planner before using it.
3. Back to Aurlandsfjellet
The name on the label belongs to the high mountain road far to the west, but the place on the map is low, green, farm country, and a good deal more peaceful than the label suggests.
